In UK, Hacker Demands New Government Block Extradition 349
Stoobalou writes "Pentagon hacker Gary McKinnon has called on the newly elected British government to put its money where its mouth is and tear up his extradition order. US prosecutors have been trying to get McKinnon before a New Jersey court for seven years after they caught him hacking into US military and NASA computers looking for evidence of UFOs. David Cameron, the newly elected prime minister, and Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, had both voiced their support for McKinnon's campaign against extradition. Other ministers in the coalition government had branded the extradition unjust. Clegg had even joined McKinnon's mother, Janis Sharp, on a protest march."

US prosecutors have been trying to get McKinnon before a New Jersey court for seven years after they caught him hacking into US military and NASA computers looking for evidence of UFOs.
If the government has nothing to hide, then they shouldn't be worried about people trying to search for UFOs. It's obvious that the US government is trying to hide secrets from UFO investigators like Gary McKinnon. To this day the government refuses to acknowledge that unidentified flying objects are a mystery because of their lack of identification.
Now lets seque into reality:
Though I often wonder, that so many thousands of corporate executives can commit crimes with immunity or just a slap on the wrist, and not ONE US president has ever gone to jail for committing a crime, and yet they can spend time and money trying to incarcerate a UFO investigator, people who smoke marijuana, and people who look at pornography. It's amazing how popular democratic fascism has become over the past 30 years.
